Haggai 1
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
El año segundo del reinado de Darío, el mes sexto, el primer día del mes, vino la Palabra de Yavé a Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, gobernador de Judá, y a Josué, hijo del sumo sacerdote Josadac, por medio del profeta Hageo:
2 These are the words of the Lord of armies: These people say, The time has not come for building the Lord's house.
Yavé de las huestes habló: Este pueblo dice: Aún no es el tiempo de reedificar la Casa de Yavé.
3 Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Entonces vino la Palabra de Yavé por medio del profeta Hageo:
4 Is it a time for you to be living in roofed houses while this house is a waste?
¿Es tiempo para que ustedes mismos vivan en casas arregladas con paneles de madera, mientras esta Casa está desolada?
5 For this cause the Lord of armies has said, Give thought to your ways.
Pues Yavé de las huestes dice: Consideren bien sus procedimientos:
6 Much has been planted, but little got in; you take food, but have not enough; you take drink, but are not full; you are clothed, but no one is warm; and he who gets payment for his work, gets it to put it into a bag full of holes.
Siembran mucho y recogen poco. Comen y no se sacian. Beben, y no quedan satisfechos. Se cubren, pero no se calientan, y el que gana salario, lo echa en bolsa rota.
7 This is what the Lord of armies has said: Give thought to your ways.
Yavé de las huestes dice: Mediten sobre sus procedimientos.
8 Go up to the hills and get wood and put up the house; and I will take pleasure in it and be honoured, says the Lord.
Suban a la montaña, bajen madera y reedifiquen la Casa. Y Yo me complaceré en ella y seré glorificado, dice Yavé.
9 You were looking for much, and it came to little; and when you got it into your house, I took it away with a breath. Why? says the Lord of armies. Because of my house which is a waste, while every man takes care of the house which is his.
Buscan mucho y hallan poco. Encierran en la casa, pero Yo lo lanzo al viento. ¿Por qué? Yavé de las huestes dice: Porque mi Casa está desolada y cada uno de ustedes corre a su propia casa.
10 For this cause the heaven over you is kept from giving dew, and the earth from giving her fruit.
Por eso, por causa de ustedes, el cielo retiene la lluvia, y la tierra su cosecha.
11 And by my order no rain came on the land or on the mountains or the grain or the wine or the oil or the produce of the earth or on men or cattle or on any work of man's hands.
Llamé una sequía sobre la tierra, las montañas, el trigo, el mosto, el aceite, todo lo que produce la tierra, el hombre, el ganado y todo trabajo de tus manos.
12 Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the rest of the people, gave ear to the voice of the Lord their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, because the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were in fear before the Lord.
Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, Josué, hijo del sumo sacerdote Josadac, y todo el resto del pueblo obedecieron la voz de Yavé su ʼElohim por medio de las palabras del profeta Hageo, tal como Yavé, ʼElohim de ellos, les mandó. Y el pueblo mostró reverencia a Yavé.
13 Then Haggai, whom the Lord had sent to give his words to the people, said, I am with you, says the Lord.
Entonces Hageo, enviado de Yavé, habló por mandato de Yavé al pueblo: Yo estoy con ustedes, dice Yavé.
14 And the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, was moved by the Lord, as was the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of armies, their God.
Y Yavé excitó el espíritu de Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, gobernador de Judá, y el espíritu de Josué, hijo del sumo sacerdote Josadac, y el espíritu del resto del pueblo. Ellos acudieron y emprendieron la obra de la Casa de Yavé de las huestes, su ʼElohim,
15 On the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
el día 24 del mes sexto, en el segundo año del rey Darío.
